Tattoo Tiff!

Nothing says fine art like a little irreversible skin paint. I’m a HUGE fan of artistry of all mediums…and I’m especially a fan of dope tattoos.

My friend Tiffany “Buttafly” Burns is a living, breathing, walking skin art gallery. She has quite a few INCREDIBLE tats from quite a few INCREDIBLE artists. Just the other day, I tagged along with her to get her latest addition to her body canvas. We traveled all the way to the south side to visit her old friend Randy at Tattoos and Piercing by Randy. I have a few tattoos myself, and even though I KNOW they hurt, there is something very addictive about them.

My girl Tiff is a trooper. Her visit to Randy was to work on the half sleeve that she’s getting over time. Randy was the perfect go to for the job. His detail work and shading is INSANE. He was meticulous and he actually worked pretty fast (if you can call 4 hours fast…).

Randy prepping the canvas!

No turnin back now, Tiff. Fully committed!

It wasn’t hurting too bad at this point, she was doing great!

The endorphin release is starting to wear off here…she’s starting to feel it…

Gone are the days when people use to get themselves inked to follow to be a part of the mainstream fashion; now people wear tattoos that reflect their passion and inner attitudes. TV shows such as Miami Ink have changed the way people used to look at tattoos. With the top celebrities flashing their ink in public, tattoos have become a rage across people of all ages. No wonder then why the demand for tattoo designs and tattoo pictures has skyrocketed in the past few years. Especially, tattoos designs such as Tribal tattoos, cross tattoos and Star tattoos are becoming more and more sought-after across the tattoo design industry.;
